America will never allow it because then they can't commit voter fraud and voter suppression. just another reason why this countries government is stuck decades into the past Voting online at this point in time is an idiotic idea. It needs to be segmented and not subject to hacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you to lazy to get off your ass and go to a polling place? There are unprivileged countries that people are required to vote, many walking miles to do it and they have less problems or complaints than we do.

I have voted in every election available to me since 1976 and have never, even before early voting, stood in line for more than about 45 minutes. And that includes polling places in NY, FL, PA, NC, CA, GA, and MD. If there are problems like that, I haven't seen them, and if so, probably an issue with that particular precinct so it's not "systemic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Supreme Court says Alabama does not have to loosen ballot restrictions because of virus The Supreme Court on Thursday night said Alabama does not have to abide for now with lower-court decisions that made it easier to cast a mail-in ballot in a state that has seen a spike in coronavirus outbreaks. The vote was 5 to 4, with the court’s conservatives in the majority. Neither the majority nor the four justices who noted their dissent — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — supplied the reasoning for their votes in the short emergency order. </snip> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Yeah. Going to the polling place in a mask, and having the machine cleaned in between voters, in 4 months from now, is almost suicide. I was just on my way out to the store, but now I'm petrified. Over the top, I know..................but so is this CNN piece....................so that's how I responded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polling place I've gone to for over 35 years was closed for the June 23 primary , elderly poll workers called in not to show up due to covid. This is the first year me and family are voting mail in just to avoid long line if it hits the fan in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I put the sanctity of the election, making sure each person's vote is legally cast as more important than the inconvenience of a long wait in line, no different essentially than at a busy retail store. Now, if the situation got a lot worse, which I don't believe it will, then I would reconsider. Thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should turn Burger Kings, Taco Bells, and Pizza Huts into polling stations for everyone's convenience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
